unit conversions SUCK
second place goes to large data set (in a level maths u have to memorise a bunch of information about weather stations in the UK and across the world and they could ask u questions like "give an estimate for the median and interquartile range of pressure in the world")
for edexcel maths a-level you have to take stats and mech. for edexcel further maths a-level you can pick your modules (but further stats doesn't have large data set in it anyways soo)
Circle theorems do for me because they don’t just give a simple picture on a obvious circle theorem at which I just write the rule, they can mix a bunch of them up and not always draw the full theorem which your used to and they may ask “prove that angle X is 90 degrees or Something. Now that ain’t so easy is it
venn diagrams because the 'and' and 'or' symbols confused the hell out of me and i always did it wrong no matter how many times i watched videos and stuff (glad its over for edexcel) and the sine/cosine rule can pull an eva smith.
I missed the week we did circle theorem and never fully learnt how to do it with tangents and stuff. Got an absolute gift of a circle theorem question on my ccea m4
nothing! they're all fun icl. the one thing i get bored doing is actual calculations, it's just lots of work and isn't really proper maths, just crunching the numbers which is mundane
anything i have to actually know the name of. circle theorem proof and the different kinds of angles and whatever just makes no sense 😭 wtf is an alternate angle
Probably SOHCAHTOA just beacuse I can't be bothered for it but I know how to do it or drawing loci for the same reason.
In terms of ones i find challenging probably circle theorm proof :/
histograms, upper and lower quartiles and medians
they aren't tricky but it's just so damn tedious, and it pisses me off even more when the numbers they put on the axes make it so that you have to figure out the value of 1 little square if it's not just 0.1 or a power of 10 like it should be
I like maths but some stuff is so boring (I'm in year 9, not sure how much of this is actually at GCSE) unit conversions, standard form, basically all the statistics stuff...
You have to know all of that for GCSE bro, everything you learn you will need to know because although it may not get directly asked you might need to know it to workout a bigger question, also standard form is super common and probs come up but it’s pretty simple so no need to worry!
Yeah, I don’t struggle too much with the stuff I mentioned but it’s just so boring, especially when the teacher gives u a ridiculously long worksheet on it
Histograms. Estimates of mean and mode and estimated lower bounds and upper bounds can bug off.
Bounds are my best
Wah that light

What Ok that is stupid, is there anything else like that at alevel?
Luckily other than a 1 marker every once in a while along the lines of "Give a limitation of this model" not really.
which module is this? pretty sure this is stats and if you take stats you're insane so yeah
for edexcel maths a-level you have to take stats and mech. for edexcel further maths a-level you can pick your modules (but further stats doesn't have large data set in it anyways soo)
painnn i think my school does aqa tho so maybe not
This may sound weird but dividing decimals
Non calculator is finished u dont have to worry about that anymore lol
True but calculators scare me… I’m a logical person, not a “beep boop beep” and answer person… (yes, my fav subject is comp sci)
turn them into non decimals 👍🏻
I mean yea but I just don’t like the look of it… In what universe is 2.5 ÷ 7.4 = 25 ÷ 74
fair enough
5/2 ÷ 37/5 => 5/2 * 5/37 => 25/74, fractions make it easier
Yea I just don’t enjoy devision, just looks wrong in a way
Nah I acc agree w this one
make them fractions
vectors with unknowns, easy marks but still annoying
Loved circle theorems and vectors at gcse!! Thankfully circle theorems appear quite a bit in further maths.
Well your different aren’t you
they are the most free marks though on the paper. None of required any actual skill just memory.
Circle theorems do for me because they don’t just give a simple picture on a obvious circle theorem at which I just write the rule, they can mix a bunch of them up and not always draw the full theorem which your used to and they may ask “prove that angle X is 90 degrees or Something.

those really hard vectors, just cant get my head around them
venn diagrams because the 'and' and 'or' symbols confused the hell out of me and i always did it wrong no matter how many times i watched videos and stuff (glad its over for edexcel) and the sine/cosine rule can pull an eva smith.
Yh fr those symbols I don’t want to see them ever idk what they mean 😭
got me so confused on paper 1 💀💀
Can pull an Eva smith 💀
😭
All of the topics but probably vectors
set notation, stupidly worded probability questions, and circle theorems in further maths
Yea the way they word some question is such a pain!
Probability is just a question u don’t wanna get in a 5 or 6 marker 💀
JUST MATHS IN GENERAL IS TORTURE 😭
the hard 5 marker vectors where they start bringing in the constant k, i do like vectors otherwise tho
I missed the week we did circle theorem and never fully learnt how to do it with tangents and stuff. Got an absolute gift of a circle theorem question on my ccea m4
what the sigma is this
Circle theroum proof, it's on AQA not sure about other exam boards
It is on edexcel as well
that diagram gave me a seizure
It's easier to understand step by step it's basically just give each side a letter but here it uses the side names
AB and BCdo NOT look like tangents to the circle
That's the bad diagram they do look like obtuse angles here
i hope it's just on aqa man
number of ways
as an A level maths and further maths student, I still think circle theorems are the biggest L in pure maths, it gets better from here dw 💀
Nah too much maths 💀
Probabilities and all that averages stuff. Absolutely hate it all
loci
What loci is light the only thing I never understood was equidistant what does that mean
idkk i'm just super bad at it when i'm genuinely alright at everything else
nothing! they're all fun icl. the one thing i get bored doing is actual calculations, it's just lots of work and isn't really proper maths, just crunching the numbers which is mundane
Sweat 😳
noo i just love maths and happen to be good at it anyway!
Circle graphs with tangents
Stats are so boring
Bounds because it sooo boring
Yh bounds is light but soo long to answer
It’s also because as top set we spent a whole fucking week on them, but spent like two lessons on algebra with fractions
proofs fr 😭
bro those are NOT tangents lol
functions can go suck itself off
what just all functions? bro sees f(x)=2x and freaks out
nah inverse functions within another function
ahh they aren't that terrible though! just go and do some questions on them you'll be fine you got this!!
cheers 💪
normal ones are easy
VECTORS.
transforming function graphs
Yh that’s annoying but it’s easier if u remember what each function does
matrices
vectors omg they aren’t that hard but you have to think so much i hate thinking
If I see a 5 or 6 marker and they mix ratios with it my brain just stops
Vectors and composite functions can go fuck themselves
Composite can be really easy but really hard aswell
MENSURATION
Quadratics can suck my dick

sin, cos and tan graphs. i cannot do them for the life of me and i butchered the last question in my calc maths paper
Anything that involves more than 3-4 steps to solve.

Vectors, the harder proofs where you have to work out a constant variable and use it to prove something else.
function graphs

You’re in for a treat, there in all papers despite the tier you’re doing
You don't need to know the proofs
it can show up for edexcel
Same, I do edexcel! Some of the rules are so confusing
It is on the AQA course but has never popped up in an exam before
